Tile is the oldest roofing material in the world. Tile roofing is one of the most ancient roofing materials used in construction today. Only a tile roof can make a house look strong, durable, and elegant. The process of tile production can be divided into several stages: clay is first shaped, dried, coated, and then fired in a furnace at a temperature of about 1000°C.
Modern coating technologies offer customers the richest colors of tiles. The coating of the tile does not significantly affect its service life, but it dramatically changes its appearance. In addition to a large variety of colors, tiles also have a large selection of shapes and models. Tile is the most durable roof covering, with a service life of more than 100 years.
The tile is extremely resistant to fire, aggressive environments, frost, and solar radiation, providing high noise insulation. One of the main criteria that distinguish high-quality tiles is high density and low porosity, where the pores should be mostly closed.
Today, two primary types of tiles are produced: natural clay tiles and concrete tiles made of cement and sand. The installation of a tiled roof differs depending on the region and climatic conditions. The service life of a quality tile without the need for repair is more than 100 years. In addition, during this period, it retains all its decorative properties. It is fireproof, fully resistant to ultraviolet rays, acid rain, sharp temperature changes, and other climatic factors.
Also, it has low thermal conductivity and is known for its noise-absorbing and static electricity resistance properties. Therefore, 80% of the German roofing market is made up of tiles.
